Born houses of congress have passed
the electoral court bill, and it only
needs the Presidents signature to become
a law. Happily there is thought to be
no doubt of the Presidents approval.
The bill passed so quietly at last through
both house that it is difficult to realize
why it should rot have become a law
years ago. 1t removes all doubt and
confusion about the counting of the
presidential vote in congress, and thus
eliminates from our qu4drennial contests
one of the most disturbing clements
which have ever been connected with
them. This and the presidential success
ion law of the last session are most I'M
